In HW Monitor i have TMPIN0,TMPIN1,TMPIN2 and package temp. Now I'm confused as to which temp is what. I'm using the GA 78LMT USB 3 revision 5.0. Here's my temps after 9+ hours of prime 95 at 4Ghz.

Please help.
UPDATE: I kept gigabyte easy tune. AIDA and AMD overdrive open a long with HW Monitor and ran IBT. The cpu temps in those software pointed to TMPIN2 in HW Monitor. But that's hard to believe as it goes all the way up into the late 60's while mu core temps are in the late 40's. So now I'm ecen more confused Edited by jason387 - 8/19/13 at 11:30am

I just put together a CAD workstation for a client and used Gigabytes new 990fx ud3 motherboard. The northbridge has it's own passive cooler on it. I noticed that with Prime95 running, the surface temp of the cooler (I have a temp gun) was about 55c while the Mosets were only about about 45c on the surface of the cooler. I can imagine the temp at the chip was closer to 60-65c. This was even after I took it off and re-greased it.

If the high temps scare you or are preventing you from overclocking, or if you just want to increase the lifespan of your motherboard, perhaps change out the stock cooler or add a fan to it. Keeping temps low goes a long way for longevity and performance. This is not to say that the only reason cheap boards arent good for overclocking is lack of cooling. There are other things that may be holding you back.

Before you jump in and buy either of these, make sure they will fit your mobo. I asume we are talking about the one in your sig rig. Looks like you have a longer northbridge cooler and you may have to do a little finagling to get 3rd party coolers to fit.

I have vrm heatsinks. From what XD had said was that TMPIN2 are vrm temps.
